Risk Management Education Program - Online Registration
Register for FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE - INFECTION CONTROL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MADE SIMPLE
Presented by Lori Serna-Pate, RDH
Overview:
Meeting the infection control needs of every dental practice should not be an overwhelming process. An understanding of the applicable laws, prevention techniques and a common-sense approach can produce a simple effective, ongoing program that protects patient and providers alike. A review of current research will provide a scientific basis for infection control policies. Understanding the required protocols and procedures that would be evaluated during a compliance inspection will be included. This course is designed to help satisfy the annual training requirement for MOSH compliance as well as provide infection control continuing education credits required for Maryland dental re-licensure.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this live activity, participants will be better able to:
- List policies and protocols recommended in the CDC Infection Control Survey Checklist
- Understand the inspection process for infection control compliance
- List methods to protect patients and staff
- Prepare a post-exposure protocol based on current infectious disease tests and treatments
- Recognize employer and employee compliance responsibilities

Live Webinars through GoToWebinar:
Due to COVID-19 and current social distancing guidelines, Medical Mutual and Professionals Advocate has transitioned from live in-person seminars to live webinars using the platform GoToWebinar. If you have already signed up for a 2 hour live in-person seminar, you will receive a letter requesting your email address to access the online live webinar. All new registrants will be able to attend a live webinar on the dates provided above. Once you have registered for a program (or if you have registered already and provided us with your email address) you will receive an email from Medical Mutual/ProAd containing a URL to register for the webinar with GoToWebinar – you will only need to enter your name and email address into their system. Subsequently, you will receive a confirmation email from GoToWebinar containing a URL to access the webinar and instructions on how to do so the day of the event. You will either use your computer’s audio (VoIP) or your telephone. For the best possible experience, we recommend using a headset on your computer’s audio. We suggest creating a calendar event to remind you of the webinar. You will also receive additional reminder emails to alert you of the upcoming webinar.
Day of the event:
You will receive an email alerting you that the event is about to take place. You may log in 30 minutes prior to the event. You will enter the meeting muted. Any course materials (if applicable) and evaluation forms will be attached as documents that you can access on the side task bar at any time. Once the webinar starts one of our coordinators or speakers will make an announcement. During the program, if you have any questions or comments, please use the chat function and one of our coordinators will alert the presenter and your question will be addressed. Much like our live in-person training, you will need to be present for the entire course. The same “grace period” is applied to webinars (no one admitted to the webinar after 630 – see program schedule above for additional details). Once the program is completed, please return your evaluation form to our Risk Management department by either fax (443-689-0261) or email at riskmgmt@weinsuredocs.com. After you have completed the program a copy of your certificate of completion will be emailed to you at the email address you provided.
